Random Thoughts is an album by American jazz pianist Don Pullen, recorded in 1990 for the Blue Note label.[1]
Reception
The Austin American-Statesman wrote that "Pullen's characteristic linear logic method of soloing keeps even the most experimental musical excursions in line."[2]
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell stated: "As bent upon pianistic mayhem as Don Pullen often seemed, this was one of his more user-friendly discs, despite having only a bass and drums between himself and tender-eared listeners. Quite often, Pullen starts a piece as if it were a conventional piano trio number, but before long, he's piling up his trademark keyboard-shuffling glissandos, playing the instrument as if it was a big, glittering, percussive crashing board. Yet everything always swings.. Pullen manages to make even fearsome things seem approachable."[3]
